The New Man

Before God,my life was like food
without salt,very bland.
Like a peanut butter sandwich without jam. 

When I would cook
it wasn't healthy,
because I would use too much butter
 and not enough Pam.

As I was faced with pain,
I was like Forest Gump I ran.
When I would get scared,
I would try to bury my face
as deep as I can in the sand.

 But God picked me up,
gave me new,and 
stronger legs to stand. 

He put a new thought in my head. 
And like Thomas the Train would say
"I think I can"  " I think I can".

Yes I'm a new man 
under God's master plan.
So the only thing to say now is
"AMEN"

Wonderful poem Mark. Isn't it beautiful when that light bulb goes off and we feel Gods arms around us.
